Hematoma Block for Broken Wrist Pain Relief
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial studies an injection called a “hematoma block” to numb pain from a broken wrist (distal radius fracture). It may help reduce pain while you’re in the emergency department.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study compares two ways to manage pain when a broken wrist is realigned without surgery: a nerve block near the elbow vs. a numbing injection directly into the fracture. It may help researchers find which method works better and is more comfortable for you.
This study tests whether using a vibration tool after surgery can help reduce pain for people who had a broken wrist repaired with a plate. If you qualify, you would have a short, simple addition to your usual recovery plan.
This trial studies how satisfied patients are with recovery after a specific type of wrist fracture (distal radius) and how well recovery goes. It may help improve care and rehabilitation for people healing from this injury.
This study compares two ways to numb your wrist before the doctor sets your broken bone: a nerve block (injecting numbing medicine around nerves) or a hematoma block (injecting numbing medicine into the fracture area). The goal is to see which method provides better pain relief during the procedure.
This study tracks how well nerve blocks—injections that numb a specific area—relieve pain in adults who come to the emergency room with a broken bone. It aims to see if this approach helps control pain better, so you may get quicker, more effective relief while being treated for your fracture.
This trial tests whether an emergency doctor can safely and effectively place a pain-relieving nerve block in the thigh using ultrasound for people with hip fractures. It may help reduce pain while you are in the emergency department.
